Federal Grant Award Summary

The Housing Authority of Marianna received a $748,046 Formula Grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Public and Indian Housing Office under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) program, effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030. This four-year funding allocation supports capital and management activities essential to maintaining public housing operations in Marianna, Arkansas. The funds enable the Housing Authority to conduct public housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, property maintenance, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency upgrades to ensure habitable housing units that comply with federal housing standards.

The Capital Fund grant supports critical operational and capital activities including routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy cost management, administrative expenses, and potential development or reconfiguration of public housing units within the authority's inventory. As a formula-based allocation rather than a competitive award, the funding amount was calculated by HUD based on established formulas reflecting the Housing Authority's public housing inventory characteristics, such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs. These resources directly serve low-income residents, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities in the Marianna community.
